Leak,passenger Side.

[gazmoore]

Hello all

I have had my 2004 gs300 for 3 weeks and noticed a small pool on the passenger side just to the rear of the front wheel.my friend at work said it could be off the air con and its nothing to worry about.

any advice guys?

thanks in advance.

just one more I did notice that the door frame just above passengers seat was slightly damp a few days before I saw the pool of liquid.

I think it being nothing to worry about is a bit misleading. Are the cars meant to or designed to pool water? no sorry, wasn't part of the design brief!

usual culprits (on other models and makes) from experience are gutter drains, sun/moon roof drains blocked - water finds next path of least resistance.

Aircon/heating system leak

Door seals,

Window left open during rain (it happens)

hole in the floorpan.

Have a poke about and see if you can locate where it is coming from, then someone with less generalised knowledge should be along to help further ;)

thanks for the response,if all else fails I will take it my garage.

thank you

You can always get a friend to sit in the car (or do the fun bit) and have the car hosed down. This after a little while will show up any exterior leaks.

If none show then it isn't blocked drains or leaky seals.

Is it definately water, no colour or odour to it?

There's certainly been many posts regarding water coming in from the blocked sun roof drain holes, it happened to me as well. Get some heavy commercial strimmer line and give the holes a gentle prodding.

I have drove car with no air con on,parked up and no leaks,i will drive it tomorrow with air con on and see results.

is this a common occurance?

The sun roof leak is fairly common, not sure about the air con. I would do as Guy suggests and hose it down, but try to imitate the way the rain falls, and do it for a good amount of time, and in different directions.

Think you'll find it's condensation on the air-con condenser dripping on to the ground. Nothing to worry about if that's the case.

Hang on is this inside the car or outside?!

[gazmoore]

the drip is on the outside but I did notice the door frame just above passenger seat the cloth was damp.hope this helps.

the damp has gone now I will keep trying with air con on and off.

thanks for being so helpful.

im neew on here and really appreciate all comments

WOW what a car is all I can say.

Just on the off chance i'd be giving the door seals a clean, likely to be unrelated regarding the door frame damp, but i like my seals spotless (had leaky cars before, it's no fun!)

Happy to help, yeah what a car ;)
